Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2117

The phone buzzed on the table. It was her agent, Doris, calling.

"Hey, Athena, where did you crash last night? You're not at home."

Athena struggled to prop herself up and started brushing her teeth.

"I was at a hotel with Tyler."

There was a brief silence on the other end, and then Doris asked incredulously, "Wait, do you mean what I think you mean?"

"Yeah."

"Athena, have you lost your mind? You're working on his script right now. If you upset him, he could totally blacklist you! We're not exactly A-list yet, but we're earning good money. Don't mess up your career path. I heard Tyler's a player with a ton of industry gossip. If you get involved, he won't appreciate it."

Athena's cheeks flushed slightly as she continued her morning routine, replying to Doris.

"He said he'd take responsibility."

Doris thought she misheard. "He actually said that?"

"Yeah, and he said I'm his girlfriend now."

Doris let out a sigh of relief but was still skeptical. Tyler wasn't known for committing to anyone.

Athena had always maintained a clean reputation. While she wasn't a household name, people did recognize her face, and she had never been involved in any major scandals. She was dedicated to her craft.

Doris had known for a while that Athena had a secret crush on Tyler, and it had been going on for quite some time. For the past two years, she had quietly gathered any news related to Tyler, but it was always about his flings with others.

Most women would have given up by now. A player like Tyler hardly seemed worth the trouble, but Athena was stubbornly infatuated, convinced she could be the one to change him.

A lot of women think they can save someone or make them change, but it's usually an illusion.

Still, Doris didn't bother to intervene. If Tyler and Athena did end up together, Athena's career could really take off.

And with that, Doris's own commission would rise too.

Athena finished getting ready, listening as Doris continued her rant.

"You better be careful. The boss seems serious this time. Anna's cozying up to him, and she doesn't like you. You might have a rough time ahead."
